Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies

The Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies (CRRS) is a library and research and teaching centre in Victoria University in the University of Toronto, in Canada, devoted to the study of the period from approximately 1350 to 1700. The CRRS supervises an undergraduate program in Renaissance Studies, organizes lectures and seminars, and maintains an active series of publications. The centre also offers undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral fellowships.

History

The Centre was founded in 1964 in Victoria University by F D Hoeniger, who was also director until 1970, and again from 1975 to 1979.

CRRS Library

The Centre's library holdings fall into three main categories: rare books, most of which were printed before 1700 (currently about 4,000 titles), modern books (currently about 25,000 volumes), and microforms (several thousand microfiches and reels). CRRS books are listed in the [http://webcat.library.utoronto.ca/ University of Toronto Library Catalogue] .

The library contains primary and secondary materials relating to virtually every aspect of the Renaissance and Reformation. In particular, it houses the Erasmus collection, one of the richest resources in North America for the study of works written or edited by the great Dutch humanist Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam. The collection holds a substantial number of pre-1700 editions of his works, including the "Novum Instrumentum" of 1516.
